Tottenham Hotspur might be preparing to swoop in and steal Bryan Mbeumo from under Manchester United’s nose.
United are said to be worried after Spurs made a bold move by appointing Brentford manager Thomas Frank, who has a strong relationship with Mbeumo. This unexpected twist may have changed the forward’s thinking.
Manchester United already had an offer for Mbeumo rejected by Brentford, who are demanding around £60 million for the 25-year-old. Mbeumo had an incredible 2024/25 season, netting 20 goals and catching the eye of many top clubs.
The Red Devils were planning to return with an improved bid and were ready to pay Mbeumo £200,000 a week. However, with Frank now at Tottenham, the player may be more tempted to remain in London rather than make a move up north.
Tottenham now face a big decision—do they match United’s salary offer and meet Brentford’s price tag? With the summer transfer window heating up, this battle between Spurs and United for Mbeumo could be one of the biggest stories.
